A Whole-school Approach to Developing Mental Computation Strategies
نویسنده
چکیده
Curriculum documents in Australia and elsewhere emphasize the importance of mental computation. There has been, however, little advice about developing and implementing mathematics programs that have mental computation strategies as a focus. One primary school’s response to this issue was to identify generic mental computation strategies that could be developed across the school in all grades from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The program was implemented within a framework for quality teaching. Initial results suggest that teachers have developed flexible approaches to teaching mental computation. Students are more aware and articulate about the nature of the strategies that they use, and students’ learning outcomes have improved.
